Keyboard toggle in landscape mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently, in the iPod Touch, when you go to landscape mode then top bar 
disappears, to give you a bit more space. Fair enough, but now that we can lock 
the keyboard off (and that makes for very natural playing in some games!), it 
would be great if we could easily turn it back on just long enough to write 
something.

For example, let's say I want to say a magic word, like XYZZY. If I'm playing 
on landscape mode, I have to turn the iPod back to portrait, unlock the 
keyboard, type the word, lock it again, and turn it back to landscape. See?

Maybe something as simple as, if the keyboard is locked don't make the top bar 
disappear?

Actually... it might be even simpler.

If "three-tap-to-toggle-keyboard" could work even when the keyboard was locked, 
hey presto.

The reason that the keyboard has to be locked is that double-tapping a word, or 
tapping the command line, brings the keyboard back up. "Three-tap" was never an 
issue... so maybe if that worked regardless of lock-status?

Triple tap was a good idea.  Seems to work well.

Fixed in r348.
You can use triple-tap to toggle kbd even when the keyboard is locked.
Works in portrait or landscape mode.  Keyboard glyph stays red, but loses / if 
shown while locked.  Bringing up dialogs or switching to notes screen and back 
will autohide kb.
